Château de Cambous stands in Viols-en-Laval (Hérault), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Viols-en-Laval, in the Hérault department, the château de Cambous forms a quadrangular building flanked by towers, largely erected during the 16th and 17th centuries around a Renaissance arcaded inner courtyard. Its carved west-facing entrance gate combines pilasters, masks and chained animals in an elaborate composition typical of the period. Inside, an old staircase, a great hall with a painted ceiling and period fireplaces have survived. The east wing incorporates the keep of the original medieval castle, whose battlements were restored in the early 20th century.
